' and when ready for delivery or another 'proc ess were identified by means of'the numbered discs. This identification consumed considerable time and in the event of there being two or more sacks belonging to the same wash much time was consumed in searching for the same. 7

It is the object of my invention to provide a marking system by means of which each sack must be placed upon its particular rack whereby any particular sack or sacks can be easily and quickly found when desired and which will be so constructed and arranged that it will be impossible to'misplace any of the sacks. I

Another object is to provide a system of the above character which will be simpleand very efficient and which will not require any I special training or knowledgefor lts'operation. o Other objects and advantages will appear hereinafter, and, while I have shown and will describe the preferred form of my in vent-ion, it will be understood that I donot limit myself to such preferred form but that 7 various changes and adaptations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention. In the drawings accompanying and forming a part hereof:

Fig. 1 is a perspectiveview of one ofthe racks used with my system. 4

Fig. 2, is a perspective view of one ofthe identification discs used with my racks.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my rack posi tioned for use with an identifying disc mounted thereon. v a 1 I Fig. 4 is a right hand elevation of Fig.3. Referring to the drawings my invention embodies a rack adaptedfor mounting upon a suitable support such as a wall or post to project outwardly therefrom: and a disc adapted to be positioned upon said rack, said rackland its companion disc being of such corresponding configuration as to fit to- I gether.

In the drawings 5 indicates a base plate;

substantially rectangular in front elevation 7 adapted to be mounted upona support 6 and held secured by means of screws 7 andS whlch screws pass through apertures 9 and 10 in opposite endsof base 5. Projecting outwardly from the front face ofbase 5 05 about centrally thereof are the rack bars ll and 12 which, in the present instance, are formed to represent the numbers two and three or the numeral twenty three and are slightly spaced apart, as best shown in Fig. '70 T' 4. While-I have shown only the numeral twenty three it will beunderstood that the 1 system will comprise racks representing the numbers from one upwardly and'also that,

if desired,- other characters such as letters may be used either in combination with the numbers or separately. 13 indicates the disc used with my rack which disc is perforated wlth the number openings 14 and l5, corresponding tothe rack bars; which are of a 7 size to slidably fit'over said bars. Provided.

in the lower edges of discs 13 is an aperture I 16 andin this aperture is mounted a ring 17 which ring in turn supports one end of asafety pin 18.

In the use of my system each individual wash is first in closed in the usual sack or container and the disc 13 is then secured thereto by means of the safety pin 18. When it is desired to hang the sackupon a rack'by noting the perforatednumber in the disc the corresponding rack' can easily be found and the disc positioned thereon.

Having described my invention what claim is I 1'. Ina marking system a supporting rack adapted. to be mounted upon a stationary support to project outwardly, said rack being of a configuration in transverse section corresponding to characters, in combination. with a disc provided with perforatlons adapted to 'fit said rack bar. 1 r 2. In a marking system a supporting rack adapted tov be mounted upon a stationary support to project outwardly, said rack being of a configuration in a tra nsversesectlon corresponding to characters. 7 g M 3. In amarking system-a rack com osed of a plurality of bars secured atone en to a stationary support to project outwardly 11o 0 an article.

4. .Aanarking system eomposed of a plurality of supporting units in combination with aplurality of perforated discs adapted to be mounted upon and supported by said units, each of sai'd units comprising one or more'bars secured at one end to a support to -pro3ect outwardly, each of said bars being.

shaped in transverse section to represent a character.
